Non-Fiction Memoir
Angell’s absorbing collection traces the highs and lows of
major-league baseball in the 1980s Roger Angell once again journeys through five seasons of
America’s national pastime—chronicling the larger-than-life
narratives and on-field intricacies of baseball from 1982 to
1987. Angell’s collected New Yorker essays, written in his
unique voice as a fan and baseball aficionado, cover the
development of the game both on the diamond and off. While
diving into subjects such as Sparky Anderson’s ’84 Detroit
Tigers, the legendary 1986 World Series and the Curse of the
Bambino, and the increasingly pervasive issue of player drug
use, Angell reveals the craft and technique of the game, and
the unforgettable stories of those who played it.
